ConfigWorx, the commercial configurator adapted to Industry 4.0 and developed by Integral Innovation Experts, was presented at LiveWorx 18.
ConfigWorx is a solution connected to PTC's Windchill that allows users, in a simple way, to create complete and automated commercial offers with a multitude of combinations.
Based on the technology of PTC products, ConfigWorx is a tool designed especially for the commercial department, enabling the sales team to prepare quotes autonomously, without the support of the technical department.
Selling complex or highly configured products is difficult. Your sales team needs to understand the customer’s needs and translate them into a valid offer that is attractive to the customer and profitable for your company. ConfigWorx manages this complexity, so it's much simpler for your team to configure, design and sell products.
Configworx’s powerful business configuration engine captures the knowledge of the best product specialists and makes it available to all of the sales team. Even newly hired staff, distributors and partners can quickly provide the best solution.
